Neck not centered on cigar box

Posted by Rusty Summer on February 3, 2016 at 1:33pm in Building Secrets, Tips, Advice, Discussion

I picked up 7 cigar boxes last night. The one I chose to use for a commissioned build I am working on is nice and long but it is narrow. I am thinking of making the neck slightly higher and putting the sound holes on the bottom half of the guitar. The neck would be at the top of the image and you can see a couple of reference marks towards the bottom where I am thinking of aligning the neck. Any thoughts or concerns I need to think about?

      I actually like the look of the offset necks, the diagonal is sweet too.

       Seems like they might even hang a little better. ?

    Here is the finished guitar.  It turned out really nice!

    with a mag  pup   , it wont  matter  ,   it  may  affect  it acoustically  ,  but  not  by  much imho.
